Good story, Not enough for a whole film

From my favorite movies..

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The movie was very good. Comedy was very good in the movie. RJ Balaji rocked in the movie. Vijay Sethupathi acted very well in the movie. Nayanthara also acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM are superb in the film.

The movie was promising with the title , sethupathi, naynthara , ananth raj etc.But what you get is nothing but an unbaked movie.The movie is said to be a comedy but rarely the scenes bring laughter.Only positive thing in the movie is nayanthara, she looks good and has acted differently.Rest actors are wasted. The hero agreeing to murder a person for his lover is a very bad theme.This is what you read in newspapers every week.The theme is very anti social and the sick part is the movie is supposed to be a comedy.THe movie is bad in terms of making you laugh or even watch AND ALSO A BAD THEMED MOVIE.

As an Indian boy growing up not knowing any of the languages in India and being exposed to western culture throughout my childhood, watching Indian movies (particularly Tamil 'Kollywood' movies) was a pain in every orifice in my body. (This statement alone would offend half the Indian population, but please, bear with me here.)I hated the poor quality and downright predictable storyline that is predominant in most Tamil movies. It's like every movie NEEDS the following ingredients: 1. Cool Indian dude (you can tell he's a hero if he's fairer than everyone else around him in most cases) 2. Hot Indian chick (you can tell she's the heroine if she's fairer than everyone else around her. In every case.) 3. They meet and fall in love. 4. Family comes in and prevents anything from happening (Usually, the girl's side) 5. Cool Indian dude kicks some ass. 6. Chick sees this. Her family sees it too. 7. A couple of songs shot in Switzerland or England. 8. He kicks more ass, family loves cool Indian dude now. 9. The end.This movie however, is different. It has some of the above ingredients, but with a delightful twist. The storyline is certainly not a common one and the cinematography is excellent. Certain scenes were so absurd, as a viewer I was left wondering whether the movie was being serious. But it was absurd in a very good way. The main protagonist in the movie in many ways build an emotional connection with the viewers, a feat very few Indian movies manage to successfully pull off. Often times you would be rooting for him to succeed in his mission, but you know that it is a pointless one. That kept me hooked. Wondering how on earth is he going to succeed.The heroine in this movie is also an unusual one. I mean sure, she's fair and pretty and tall and all that, but she's also deaf. When most Indian movies portray a perfect heroine or hero, both of them in this movie are not the least bit perfect, which is breaking a serious cinema taboo in India. That for me, was already a good selling point.But the best part of this movie was without a doubt, it's music. Anirudh has outdone himself in his choice of music in this movie. The songs were memorable and it fit the scenes very well (oh and there are no random dance scenes in Switzerland. Yay for logic.)The ONLY complaint about this movie that I can honestly make is Nayanthara's acting. It was poor. She clearly did not take the time to study how lip readers speak, how the behave and how they carry out their daily routines. I have never seen a completely deaf person speak perfectly. I have never heard a person who's gone deaf speak ANY language which as much precision as she did in this movie. So yeah. Maybe they can dub the movie again with an actual deaf person to make it seem more believable, because as it stands, I did not for a second believe that she was deaf in that movie. Not even after she told everyone that she was deaf.Overall though, it's still a good watch. I am glad to see Tamil movies take steps to be different. Final verdict: 8/10

I have never laughed for a long time since the movie "soodhu kavvum" which was also acted by Vijay. Vijay delivered a simple ,epic and decent role.He was very simple in his comedies but which were epic.This movie motto was clearly "Entertainment " and it filled everyone's heart .Other characters were awesome too .Everything was timing.You will never bored or take of our eye of out the screen for a second in this movie.Nayanthara acted good ,innocent and beautiful as always .THe lines are repeated again now.I have never laughed for a long time eversince the movie "soodhu kavvum" which was also acted by Vijay.
